Shree Samarth Krupa Mobile Shop

My shop, Shree Samarth Krupa Mobile Shop, is right on S V Road near Thakkarbapa Nagar 5. If you know this area, you know how loud it gets with all the traffic and people walking by. I spend most of my day behind the counter looking at small phone parts or talking to customers who cracked their screens. It’s a small space, filled with chargers, cases, and those little screen guards that are so hard to put on without bubbles. I’ve been sitting here for years now. I remember when the street was a lot quieter, but now there are buses and rickshaws honking at every hour. Sometimes the rain comes down hard on S V Road and we have to pull the shutters halfway down to keep the water out. People stop in because they forgot their charger or their battery died suddenly. It is just me and sometimes a helper here. We don't have a big fancy sign, just the name above the door. Most of our neighbors know us by now. We see the same faces every morning when the shops open up. It’s not always easy keeping up with all the new phone models coming out every month, but we try our best to know what's what. The tea guy comes around at four and that’s usually the highlight of the afternoon. We just keep things simple and keep the shop running six days a week. It’s a busy life here in Thakkarbapa Nagar.
